My Deepest heartfelt condolences go out to the Family. My parents, Bob & Rita Speedie were extremely close and Dear friends to both Ricardo and his wife Eunice. They would gather often, no occasion necessary. I would hear the stories afterwords, of all the partying that went on. Ricardo and my Father, Bob found the gift of true, friendship in each other. I think I know who was the head of the welcoming committee upstairs. Rest easy Ricardo, you will be greatly missed.
Hi Eunice and family. I was sad to hear of Rick’s passing, visiting you and Rick while at my grandmas was always a pleasure. I wish the best to you, may Rick rest in peace.
To Ms. Unice Simone and family, my sincere and deepest condolences. I trust God give you all strength and faith now and in the days to come.
“These we love don’t
go away, they walk
beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard
but, always near,
still loved, still
missed and always
dear.”
I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to Eunice, Abby and family. I have known the Ricardo family for almost seventy years ever since Rick and my step father met at a telephone booth in British Guiana. My step father asleep with the phone to his ear and Rick waiting outside until his patience ran out. They became fast friends and I looked forward to visits with Rick and Eunice to witness his wit and humorous comments. Rick, you’ve had a good innings.
Requiescat In Pace.
